Curious why fans believe sport is at its greatest? TAB asked — and here are their responses

We’re living in a golden era of sport, and fans everywhere are fired up. But what makes this moment so special?

TAB recently asked sports fans why they think now is the best era in sports — and the answers didn’t disappoint.

From instant access to live games to next-level tech and a more inclusive playing field, fans had plenty to say about why today’s sports scene is more exciting, dynamic and accessible than ever before.

First off, fans couldn’t stop raving about the incredible access we have to live sports. Whether it’s the AFL finals, NRL — or the NBA, we’ve got everything at our fingertips 24/7.

Thanks to streaming and social media, there’s no such thing as missing out anymore.

You can watch games live, catch the highlights — and even rewatch every clutch moment on demand. Basically, if you love sport, you can live and breathe it wherever you are.

That brings us to the next-level tech that allows sports to be so accessible. With insane camera angles, slow-motion replays, and real-time stats, it’s like we’re right there in the action.

Every game feels like a front-row experience — no matter if you’re at home or on the go. You’ll never miss a goal, a buzzer-beater, or a record being smashed.

Plus, with the TAB app, you can stay on top of live updates and the latest odds, making sure you’re always in the loop as the action unfolds.

Fans also pointed out that this is the most inclusive time in sports history. The playing field is bigger and more diverse than ever, with stars from all walks of life making their mark.

Whether it's WNBA legends, Olympic heroes or underdog stories from all over the globe, today’s sports scene is packed with talent that reflects everyone.

Another fan was buzzing about the fact that we’re lucky enough to be witnessing a changing of the guard in real time.

Legendary players are writing the final chapters of their careers, while new superstars are stepping up to the plate.

And finally, the fans agree that what makes sport now truly unmatched is the community it creates.

That the wins and losses are a small factor in comparison to the moments we share with mates — catching games at the pub, cheering at the screen, or just celebrating that epic goal together.

In short, there’s never been a better time than now to be a sports fan. It’s global, inclusive and more exciting than ever — and fans everywhere are loving it.
